Zinc isn't quite dangerous; you can technically take quite a bit of it, but it starts to interact with the absorption of other things. (Copper, for example.)
Plus I haven't come across anything that would indicate it having a benefit outside of what you can get in a quality multivitamin. Mine has 20mg, which is plenty I think. People take it for colds because it's good for your immune system.

Do you know how much that is in IU? I can never figure it out. My multi has 400IU and my cal/mag has 100IU each.
